Melbourne has always been an important meeting place for events of social, educational, sporting and cultural significance for the Woiwurrung, Boonwurrung, Taungurong, Dja Dja Wurrung and the Wathaurung groups who form the Kulin Nation. Today, Melbourne is a significant gathering place for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It's regarded by many as the hub of Victorian Aboriginal communities.
